Since he came to Tengchong, he hasn't practiced splitting incense for a long time. Although splitting incense is just a test, it is also the foundation of carving. Splitting incense can not only exercise arm strength and wrist strength but also exercise eyesight and endurance. The requirements for carving are very high, and even if the carver's hand shakes slightly, the carved product may become a waste product. Therefore, carving requires precision, carefulness, and endurance, and has extremely high requirements for arm stability.

  Yu Xin Zushi left behind that incomplete "Ke Jing". Lin Yue glanced at it roughly and found that it was divided into three stages: one is to simulate the shape, two is to dot the eyes, and three is to transform the spirit.

  The first stage is to carve by imitating the mentality of flowers, birds, fish, insects, humans and animals, only seeking form but not both form and spirit. In this stage, the method of carving with a knife is extremely complicated, just remembering it is troublesome enough, and you also need to master it proficiently.

  The second stage is to capture the essence, that is, to make the carved object have a vivid and lifelike spirit, making it both form and spirit. At this stage, the knife method is actually much simpler than the first stage, but the requirements are higher.

  As for the third stage, Lin Yue was at a loss because "Ke Jing" only had half a book, and the second stage also only had half. However, Lin Yue could imagine that the requirements of the third stage were absolutely not comparable to the first and second stages. Just from the name "Hua Shen", it can be known that this is an unspeakable realm that can only be understood intuitively.

  Lin Yue can infer from "Ke Jing" that Song Tai often told him that the ancient carving skills are simplified from complexity.

  Perfection and simplicity will be his future goals.

  Because his own Kōyū no Katana's state was still unstable, Lin Ya decided to raise Kōyū no Katana's state to six swords before practicing the first stage of Kata.

  After splitting two incense sticks, Lin Yue really couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep without even taking off his clothes.

  The next day, Lin Yue woke up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. These recent events had made him realize that no matter how much he exhausted himself using his powers the night before, as long as he didn't overdo it, he would always recover by the next morning. This phenomenon filled him with immense joy.

  My recovery ability is just strong!

  Lin Yueh let out a smelly fart and then changed his clothes before leaving the house. A new day had begun, today he was going to gamble for a good piece of wool.

  Today was different from before, He Yuzhang had not gotten out of bed yet, which made Lin Yue feel relieved. He ordered a breakfast and sat down at a table to eat while waiting for He Yuzhang.

  It wasn't until an hour later that He You Cang finally came down, and when he saw Lin Yue waiting for him early, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  This thread of surprise made Lin Yue grab it, making him feel that he hadn't waited for an hour in vain, and almost cried out happily.

  After finishing breakfast, the two came to Jade Street again.

  Yesterday, Lin Yue didn't rush to open the piece of wool. If he opened several pieces in a row, it would definitely attract attention from people with ulterior motives, so he waited until he had no money before opening it. However, Lin Yue was unaware that he had already caught people's attention.

  After parting with He Youzang, Lin Yue walked on the Jade Stone Street and found that all the stall owners looked at him with changed eyes, some with admiration, some with expectation, but more with worry.

  Whichever family's wool is favored will get preferential treatment, who wouldn't worry about that?

  Not just the vendors, but even passing merchants were pointing and whispering behind Lin's back.

  "Look, that young man is the one who got the Tengchong recognition card."

  "It's all his, a person who steps on dog shit, who knows if he did it on purpose, I can also get recognition cards if I do it." A sour grape said with a sour tone.

  At this time, a man walked up and asked: "You seem to be an old hand in this line too, you should have come to Tengchong several times. Why didn't you do it like that young man?"

  The person who was asked this question blushed and became extremely embarrassed, immediately dodging into the crowd and fleeing in a hurry.

  ……

  Listening to the conversation of these people, Lin Yue smiled slightly. Yesterday when Qin Zonghan told him about this matter, he knew that some people would praise his behavior and others would mock him. However, Lin Yue didn't think much of it.

  You've got all the benefits, can't you tolerate people who have never seen, eaten or gained anything and fantasize all day to vent a few grievances?

  As long as those people don't cross Lin Yue's bottom line, he can still tolerate them.

  Lin Yue walked around the block and found himself suddenly becoming a celebrity on this street, with people discussing him wherever he went. There were slanders, sneers, praises, and sighs... human emotions are endless.

  Most of it is slander, for those who are confused and deaf to the noise, this time is just right for him to practice his heart, as long as he is not disturbed by external sounds, his practice will be qualified.

  Lin Yue continued walking forward, thinking of the place where the Guangdong merchants gambled on stones yesterday, and today he was going to start from there.

  The merchants on the street stared at Lin's receding back and were all a little dazed.

  Whether it's slander or praise, there are always several questions swirling around, constantly questioning oneself.

  Why didn't I do this when I first saw that person who was out of it?

  But why was it that this somewhat frail young man was willing to do all the things that no one else wanted to do?

  Would I still be so jealous and envious without that recognition card and privilege? Maybe he's just stupid.

  Always envying others' achievements after the fact, has that young man thought of these things? He only did this because he was kind-hearted and had never thought about any returns.

  Who can afford to give away half of their money for a stranger?

  He, that young man, did it!

  Can you do it yourself?

  The surrounding merchants' eyes began to wander, they didn't know the answer because the answer was unbearable for them, so they pretended not to see.

  Slandering and mocking, though they didn't show any respect on the surface, but deep down in their hearts, they had a profound admiration for that slightly frail young man Lin Yue.

  No respect is not allowed.

  Lin Yue quickly arrived at the place where Guangzhou merchants gambled on stones, and then searched for high-quality wool from stall to stall.

  Because He Yuzhang hid for a relatively late reason, when they came to this street, it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, so Lin Yue didn't turn several stalls and it was already morning.

  Lin Yue looked up at the scorching sun above his head, then glanced down at the piece of wool in his hand, and finally let out a helpless sigh.

  All the good wool has been picked out by people.

  The poor quality of wool can't be identified as having any potential value.

  Lin Yuezhi wished he had a pair of piercing eyes, so that with just one glance at the emerald velvet fabric, the emeralds would immediately reveal their true form, and there would be no need to spend so much time searching. At that point, all he would have to do is haggle over the price.
